COACH QUOTES

Quotes CSU Asesoft Ploiesti vs. SAOS Hyeres

Alain Weisz, coach SAOS Hyeres:

"We were happy for the qualification which we won in our first game, without our captain, Perincic. We came to Romania to defend, because we knew the team. I think if our two matches were to be played again, CSU would have qualified. I have to mention Griffith, Cepuslis, Burlacu and Hargrove, who did play a great game. Ploiesti have a good team and a fantastic crowd."

Vincent Mesingue, player SAOS Hyeres:

"I think the qualification was won in the first game, when we took advantage of the fact that our opponents knew about our injured players and got relaxed. Today, we were afraid when the difference reached 20 points, but we were focused at the end.

Vladimir Arnautovic, coach CSU Asesoft Ploiesti:

"We were very close to qualify, but it doesn't matter now. If Burlacu and Cepulis would have been in better shape, we could have won. Maybe I should have sent Wheeler on the court, but I've felt Osmokrovic was focused, and the things went well with him leading the game. I congratulate the opponent, but first of all I want to thank my players for their effort and thank our wonderful crowd."
